FRG  participated in a webinar on June 4 for the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions, which focused on techniques and resources available to credit unions to help them weather the current economic storm.

The webinar, “Credit Loss in the Time of COVID-19,” featured thought leaders from SAS and FRG, including Jonathan Leonardelli, FRG’s Director of Business Analytics. They discussed what is needed for Credit Unions to incorporate macroeconomic variables into actionable intelligence on their portfolios.
